Dec. 7: 'Playing for Keeps'

You tell me if this sounds good: A movie starring two actors (Gerard Butler and Jessica Biel) who usually guarantee a stinker that's written by someone whose last writing credit was devising the story for Pauly Shore's "In the Army Now." Directed by Gabriele Muccino ("The Pursuit of Happyness"), "Playing," about an ex-soccer star (Butler) trying to get his life in order, has a trailer that provides virtually no reason to see the film itself.
